To learn about the women's studies major, see the Women's Studies Program.

The women’s studies minor offers students an interdisciplinary introduction to the status and contributions of gender and women in their diversity in various cultures and historical eras.

For the women’s studies minor, students must complete 20 credits of women’s studies courses with a grade of C or better. Courses taken pass/fail may not be used toward the minor. No more than eight credits used to satisfy the requirements for the major may be used for a minor. Students electing the women’s studies minor must complete WS 401, Introduction to Women’s Studies, or WS 405, Gender, Power, and Privilege, and WS 798, Colloquium in Women’s Studies, normally taken at the beginning and end of the course sequence, respectively. It may be possible to substitute WS 797, Internships, or WS 796, Capstone Experiences, for WS 798, Colloquium, with permission from a women’s studies adviser. Additionally, students must complete three other women’s studies courses, either program courses or those that are cross-listed with other departments.

Other women’s studies courses are WS 505, Survey in Women’s Studies; WS 632, Feminist Thought; and WS 795, Independent Study.
